State tax filing
Hi @KrisD15 (or anyone who can help),
Your answer seems very clear, it's just I've been scouring the internet for an hour looking at several responses to this question and each one leads to a different answer. So, to be sure I'm understanding you correctly, is the following true?
I am filing my return for tax year 2024. I DID itemize my 2023 tax year return. My 2023 return box 5a is NOT checked (I didn't claim general sales tax). I ended up with a refund paid to me in 2024. I'm filling out my 2024 tax year return in TurboTax, Federal module, Wages & Income section, screen "Tell us about your refund". Next to the question "Total of all your payments and withholding" I should be entering the amount found in my 2023 return Federal 1040 Schedule A line 5d "Add lines 5a through 5c"? In other words, the sum of state/local income taxes + state/local real estate taxes + state/local sales taxes?
Thank you so much for any help, I've been very frustrated by this part of the return.
